Thanks so much

I must be stupid, could you elaborate?

Just went thru a big (unrelated) homelab restore

Oh how I hope all these righteous old ladies in viral images and memes go down in the history books. From my own guesstimate experience, tragically, it’s an upvote and a moving on. Yet, these women are not doing it for glory.

It’s political economy with the politics “removed.” As if you can just subtract the human, political impact of political economy and meaningfully “only” talk cold hard dollars.

Is Buttigieg not a neoliberal?? As I recall, neoliberalism is characterized by austerity, de-regulation, tax cuts, and privatization.

He certainly seemed pro-austerity and pro-privatization back in 2019-2020 with his milquetoast “Medicare for All Who Want It” talk. And he is from McKinsey after all.

Find any video on YouTube about Mondragon in Spain. This is a good one from Dutch broadcaster vpro. It’s like the 9th largest organization in Spain, highly successful in other words. The Marxian economics Professor Richard Wolff gave a ‘Talk at Google’ years ago that is in part about Mondragon. He discusses Mondragon in much of his work in fact.

There is also some academic work that shows that worker coops are more resilient during recessions and, for example, the global financial crisis. Here’s a DW (German) minidoc discussing that fact https://youtu.be/zaJ1hfVPUe8

Good job I guess Brennan but you also helped get us here.

Indeed The Half Has Never Been Told

I am an American, and I once found myself far from home traveling through what I later learned was a ‘bedroom community’ in New Jersey just trying to find a place where we could all pull over and eat something, but apparently “restaurants” were just supremely exotic anywhere within in those, Idk, 300 sq miles.

It was EXTREMELY unsettling… even for an American!

That’s what’s up

What an absolute fucking champ-

While acknowledging his share of responsibility for the loss, Walz is returning to the national spotlight and didn’t rule out a 2028 presidential run, saying, “I’m not saying no.”

Both of those things are such music to my ears (although ofc we should all know that it was Harris’s brother-in-law Uber exec lawyer who muzzled Walz and deserves that blame that Walz is selflessly taking on here).

Sadly I’m not even sure the US will exist by 2028.

Dicking dicks.

Well, in Dave’s CEO’s defense, it was just Google Ads.

Just, you know, that thing that largely provides the income for a world top-ten company.

I’m just a simple country hyper-chicken but… That makes it sound like you are investing in that evil. Please say you are shorting that shit.

This is, excuse me, fucking brilliant

There is no outrage left

This really hit me. As in maybe it explains some things since the internet was created. It’s indeed so hard to keep up.
